Since 2010, public services have been supported by CDBG funds and General Funds through the Community Assistance Grant Program (CAP). Efforts will continue to include the Human Services Commission (HSC) and non-profit agencies to improve and evaluate the needs assessment and funding process. The City's Recreation and Human Services Department hired Urban Strategies Council to conduct a Human Services Gap Analysis that was completed in April 2017. In October 2018, Staff proposed to City Council targeted areas of implementation based on the Gap Analysis and have proceeded to use it to prioritize expenditures of CDBG and CAP funds. Gaps were identified in the following services offered to residents: high-level mental and behavioral health needs, child and family enrollment in CalFresh, cuts to critical safety net programs, and domestic and intimate partner violence. CDBG funds are expected to be made available for City -initiated and/or non-profit capital improvement projects. If feasible, non-profit improvements will be coordinated within the City's Planning, Building & Safety Services, Engineering & Transportation, Public Works Departments, and the City Council. Commercial revitalization efforts, will continue through Economic Development (ED) staff. ED staff work closely with CDBG staff, local business organizations (such as the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Business Association), surrounding communities, and various other economic development organizations to better address and determine the City's future economic and job needs. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness Everyone Home is the Alameda County -wide Continuum of Care coordinating agency working to address the housing needs of the homeless, and extremely low-income persons with serious mental illness and/or those living with HIV/AIDS. The first County -wide planning efforts began in 2004 that resulted in the EveryOne Home Plan. The planning effort was a unique collaboration among community stakeholders, cities and Alameda County government agencies representing three separate care systems — homeless services, HIV/AIDS services, and mental health services — that share overlapping client populations and a recognition that stable housing is a critical cornerstone to the health and well-being of homeless —and those at -risk of becoming homeless-- in our communities. Since its publication in 2006 the Plan has been adopted by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and all fourteen (14) cities, including San Leandro, and endorsed by numerous community organizations. In 2018 EveryOne Home completed the Strategic Update to this plan that has been endorsed and/or adopted by 136 Cities, other Governmental Agencies and non-profit organizations. Implementation of the EveryOne Home Plan is guided by a Leadership Board comprised of jurisdictional appointed members and key community constituencies such as consumers, cities, nonprofit service Consolidated Plan SAN LEANDRO 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
